With my extensive experience and training as my main focus, I take pride in the success of my business which opened in the summer of 2020. My expertise is showcased through the over 1,000 private training sessions I have conducted thus far. Boasting a nine-year military career as a Kennel Master, a 341st Patrol Dog Trainer and a Dog Handler, I have served in various locations including Texas, Germany, the Philippines, California, and Bahrain. Apart from attending all three military K9 schools, I have also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the prestigious Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. My organized, outgoing, engaging, professional nature sets me apart from the rest. Prior to every session, I prepare comprehensive lesson plans and give detailed training recaps alongside recommended reinforcement training. In a sea of countless dog trainers in Southern California, my qualifications stand out among the best. Thank you for considering my services!

Working with Toby was an excellent experience. He was honest about his process right from the start, took the time to comprehend my objectives and ensured that Korra was at ease before we began our training sessions. I became aware that I required more training than Korra did, and Toby was the ideal instructor for me. I received a significant amount of valuable information, including "homework" assignments and a prospective reference for further advanced training. Once Korra and I have laid down the foundation, we will undoubtedly look forward to collaborating with SoCal K9 Consulting again.

In just a few hours, Toby helped me to train my Australian Shepherd, Tuck, to overcome his leash pulling and aggressive behavior towards other dogs. Thanks to Toby's coaching, I now have a range of techniques to work with Tuck to improve his behavior and make him less challenging to handle. Tuck really took to clicker training and I've already purchased a clicker for him on Amazon so we can continue with this method. I'm definitely going to tell my friends and neighbors about Toby, as he's done such a great job with Tuck and I have no doubt he could help others with their dogs, too.

Toby's training skills are exceptional, as he dedicated his time to answering all my inquiries and provided us with excellent resources and guidance to begin training my overly aggressive dog. His services left such a positive impression that I immediately scheduled a follow-up session prior to his departure.

With a wealth of knowledge and experience, Toby excels at creating training plans that are both comprehensive and efficient. While he follows a tried and true general outline, he adeptly tailors each session to address the specific needs of the dog and owner. In addition to being kind and thoughtful, Toby also provides a thorough written review of each session and gives equipment recommendations based on the dog's individual temperament. Best of all, his prices are affordable. I have already recommended Toby to friends and colleagues, and I am thrilled to recommend him to a wider audience. He is an exceptional trainer who is both competent and dedicated.

My dog's training greatly benefited from Toby's expertise! With his strategies, we were able to put a stop to our dog's nipping and biting in just one week, which saved us from a lot of trouble. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone!
